Double Major in Commerce? (1 Viewer)

[Trebla]

I do a combined Science/Commerce degree and I expect to do a double major in Science. My intended major for Commerce is Finance. Now I honestly have very little clue where I want to end up jobwise, so would it be a good idea to major in another area in the Commerce degree (thus totalling FOUR majors lol) or just stick with 3 majors?
The only possibilities I am considering are Marketing and Accounting. These are the impressions I got from first year:
Marketing - a very "common sense" subject (i.e. concepts easy to understand so far) but it's very "englishy" lol (I'm mathematically inclined)
Accounting - has some 'maths' in it but is extremely tedious and annoying
Is it worth putting up with one of these to keep options open or maybe "complement" Finance? If so, which would you suggest and why?
Or is doing just Finance good enough to get me somewhere (given a Financial Maths and Statistics major in Science)?

It's a combined degree, each degree has room for two majors in it. Even more amazing is if one does TSP (Talented Students Program) for maths through the faculty of Science you might even make three science majors and two more majors for the other degree for a combined course, thus totalling a whopping five majors...

I wonder too, whether finance is enough. eng/commm is the best!

Can someone please provide advice in relation to the first post?

Trebla can you do a triple major in science and one major in commerce or is that not allowed?

I'm not sure to be honest. If it is allowed, I think it may be doable in the Maths majors. A Financial Maths and Statistics major has some required units which overlap with an Applied Maths major, but it's only possible to fit 3 majors in a combined degree.
I have to do a minimum of 96 credit points from Commerce and 96 credit points from Science. The maximum credit points I can do altogether is 240, so the maximum number of Science units I can possibly do is 144. (Even more through TSP if they actually count to the major)

If it was up to me, I would have opted to major in Econometrics and Finance in Commerce, but unfortunately I can't major in Econometrics given that I'm doing Statistics units from the Science faculty.

Unfortunately it's come down to either Finance + Accounting, Finance + Marketing or Finance only in Commerce. I don't know what to choose. Some say Finance isn't enough but I know of people who are doing Finance only. I'm not exactly into either Accounting or Marketing. From first year impressions, accounting is 'easy' but very tedious, whilst marketing is understandable / sometimes interesting but I don't think it fits well with my mathematical inclination.

But obviously first year impressions are not a good indicator of what comes in higher years...so can anyone provide insight into those higher years?

What I would choose, fin maths, finance and economics. Or maybe replace eco with accounting. Marketing is a completely different field. Much more artsy, not like the other technical majors you picked. Stats is more rigorous that econometrics.

Maths majors are all the same really, you can't really differentiate them like that. 1 or two units can change the name of the major.

Financial Maths + Statistics + Finance is a really good combination to have, there are going to be hundreds of people with their finance + other commerce major but if you do those ones you will have more relevant qualifications and you can minor in a different commerce elective (say economics) to give you that edge.

plus statistics > ecmt
